What's the connection between hundreds of schools, churches, village halls, community centres and even the odd caravan and Portakabin? The answer is that they are all being used as polling stations in the Buckinghamshire County Council elections on May 4.

The men and women of our Armed Forces give their whole lives to serving their country, protecting our nation and its people. Now is the time for you to show your appreciation and thanks for their hard work and commitment by sacrificing just a few hours of your time to help us ensure this year’s Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes Armed Forces Day is the best one yet.
